No way of telling where they are with the journal publication. None. Could be it’s a ways away, or it could be they need him at the ready for post publication questions — Aka: a CC.
Depending on whether Bosch pushed the meeting himself the 30 minutes or the conference did.
If HE did it, and his talk was depending on TLD happens before, then this indicates, they a couple of days ago believed the journal to be finished next week BEFORE the conference.
If the conference did it, we can not assume so.
Nick and I have both written the conference to see if we can obtain this piece of info.
